Angus' suicide action plan motion to be debated Monday

Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus’ motion (M 174), calling for a National Suicide Prevention Action Plan will be debated in the House of Commons on Monday. Angus’ National Suicide Action Plan “calls on the government to implement a national, evidence-based action plan to prevent suicide. Canada is one of the only G7 countries without a national plan to prevent suicide. We know these plans work – after the province of Quebec implemented one, their rates of death by suicide dropped by over 40 per cent.” The debate can be seen Monday morning on CPAC starting at 11 am.
